About the Author Glen Smale is a writer on automotive subjects. He lives in Carmarthenshire..

The AC Ace was fitted with the same rear diff as that used in the Jaguar E-type, and so when the car arrived in the Shelby workshop, it proved easy to modify thanks to the simple AC layout.. Part-time racer and chicken farmer Carroll Shelby ordered a chassis from AC Cars in England in 1961, and asked them to install a Ford V8 engine in it

Amazon Customer said A pity the writer concentrated on who owns the cars. A pity the writer concentrated on who owns the cars, and the races they were in rather than the technicals of the cars themselves. Lots of interesting information This book is not really a workshop or maintenance manual. It does have a great deal of information about the Shelby. I would recommend it for anyone interested in Shelby automobiles.. Four Stars harry Reynolds fascinating book but I'd hate to rebuild a Cobra using this "manual"
